"On on U of K . . . ."

Winter Dreams of the Bluegrass

The barn is thick with ice and snow.

an attached basketball goal and net,

has ice hanging from them.

And the sacred orb

is safely tucked

into a hay trough

while the ‘boys’ are inside.

Watching on a 70 high-def inch TV

They cheer the Big Blue

while dreaming of

immortality—

a jersey hanging in the rafters

of Rupp Arena—

worn by a son,

not yet born.
